This week Josh and Alan have a lively discussion about the opening story of Season 8, Jon Pertwee's second season on Doctor Who, "Terror of the Autons"! While we both like the story overall, it does bring with it its own set of problems that will become part of the template of the Pertwee era. This is a story of great change -- we have new characters coming in, a brand new major villain, and a whole new tone and direction for the show.
First, though, we talk about BBC Books' newly announced upcoming series with each book set in one of the decades that Doctor Who has been around -- and they don't always feature the Doctors you'd expect they would! Then, we pay a visit to Josh's Spin-Off Media Corner to talk about a Big Finish story and a much earlier BBC Books' novel, both of which feature the Autons.
If you've enjoyed the show, please leave a comment, review, or rating wherever you're listening!
